Alongside this, it is important to assess an athletes current health status. Why? 22-year-oldMale21 StoneSport: Football Topic 2: Fitness Testing for Sport Fitness Testing for components of physical fitness Administer six different fitness tests Report findings Pick 1 area and create 3 questions you may ask in that section.

When you are done, find someone with a different section and write down their 3 questions for that section. (Not the person sat next to you!) Questionnaires to collect information regarding an individuals current physical activity levels, dietary habits and lifestyle.

Use the worksheet and examples to help you. Informed Consent Client Consultation Health Screening Process When completing a screening you need to make sure your client feels at ease Introduce yourself and what you are going to do.Build RapportShow discretionBe aware of your body languageCommunicate findings effectively Role play task:

In pairs, complete a role play of a consultation. Explain to the client that there will be a questionnaire and then some health screening tests.

Most importantly, make them feel as ease What do we need to include in the health screening process?

What order would you complete it in? Why? Client Consultation Informed Consent H.S Questionnaire Feedback Results Throughout this process you will be provided with confidential information relating to a clients personal health and fitness, it is therefore you responsibility to maintain client confidentiality throughout the process. This documented evidence that shows you have provided the client with the necessary information to undertake the health screening process. This confirms that they: Are able to follow the test methods

Know exactly what is required of them during testing

Have fully consented to their participation in the fitness tests

Understand that they can withdraw at any time. Heart Rate Measured manually via the radial artery in the wrist, and is measured in beats per minute (bpm) Average Resting HR for Males: 68 bpm

Average Resting HR for Females: 72 bpm Males generally have a larger heart than females, which is capable of pumping a higher volume of blood per beat than that of a female.

Therefore the average resting HR is lower for males compared to females.

A high resting HR, known as tachycardia is 100 bpm and higher Blood Pressure Blood pressure measured using a digital blood pressure monitor and is displayed as: Systolic blood pressure(when the heart is contracting)

Diastolic blood pressure (when the heart is relaxing - filling with blood) Lung Function Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is a person's maximum speed of expiration, as measured with a peak flow meter, a small, hand-held device used to monitor a person's ability to breathe out air.

It measures the airflow through the bronchi and thus the degree of obstruction in the airways. This can highlight possible respiratory problems such as Asthma. Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI is a measure of body composition in kg/m2 and is used to determine to what degree a person is over, or under weight.

It is not often used with athletes as it is only an estimate as the test does not take into account and individual's frame size or muscle mass.

Research suggets a significant relationship between high BMI and increase cardiovascular disease and diabetes Client Number 1 Jane

What topics might we ask questions about in a health screening questionnaire? This is what we are expecting to see in your practical health screening of your client!
